From the Met's website: "More than any other type of image, photographs seem to have a direct and natural connection to visible reality. A painting of an angel may be admired for its beauty and masterful technique, but a photograph of an angel is either a miracle or a hoax. In recent years, as the art of photography has grown increasingly sophisticated, artists and viewers alike have become particularly attuned to the medium's potential for distortion, ambiguity, and illusion. This exhibition presents a selection of photographs that tread nimbly on the fault lines between reality and artifice, generating a sense of uncertainty about what is real and what is not."
